News - April 2013 RSS Feed

I distinctly remember that, when I left home and had arrived in my new freshman dorm, I was all too happy to be there. Not that I didn’t love my home or parents, but being the youngest in my family, I always felt like I needed to be as grown up as my older brothers. It was the greatest. I was in a dorm with a bunch of new freshman. I had already made new friends in addition to some old ones. And my classes were not half bad (well except for one professor...). One of my classes even taught me how to breathe (how much is tuition?…)!

 On Saturday, April 27th, CCFM and a team of local ministers will be hosting Revive, a youth rally for teens in the Brazos Valley area. There will be 4 different bands and song artists represented, David Thies, Dave Moore, David Casper and Soundwave. There's going be a ton of free SWAG - sunglasses, frisbees, drawstring bags and more. The Knights are cooking. There will be talks and games. And, as if all that wasn't enough, Reconciliation is going to be available and we'll have Mass and Adoration!

Whether we are a Director of Religious Education, a Coordinator of Youth Ministry or a Director of youth formation, what is our role? As ministers and not faculty, are we to educate our Catholic youth or is our mission to truly Catechize?
